Gianni Brunelli’s 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is vivid and finely etched, with bright red and wild berry fruit layered over hints of mint, gentle spice and a touch of earth. The palate is medium to full in weight yet remarkably silky, with lively acidity and firm, chalk-dusted tannins that currently give it a youthful edge but also promise graceful evolution. A poised, energetic Brunello that balances generosity of fruit with finesse and length.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, pappardelle al cinghiale, aged pecorino Toscano

Gianni Brunelli’s Brunello di Montalcino is a 100% Sangiovese bottling that marries grapes from cooler Le Chiuse/Canalicchio sites and the warmer Podernovone slopes to produce an elegant, terroir-driven Brunello—think fragrant red and dark berry aromas, fine mineral lift from galestro and calcareous clay soils, and structured yet silky tannins after extended ageing in large Slavonian oak casks. The estate follows low‑intervention, largely organic practices, emphasizing purity and site expression rather than overt oak or extraction.
